The Opposition parties have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of delivering a “political speech to uniformed personnel” during his visit to a Central Reserve Police Force camp in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar for the Hindu festival of Diwali on Sunday.
In his speech, Modi called on security personnel to identify and defeat “dimagi Naxals” or persons with “Naxal mentality”. He alleged that “dimagi Naxals” had taken control of several organisations and infiltrated political parties.
“Even today, they are instigating people against the country’s Constitution and democracy,” the prime minister said.
He had first used the term during his Independence Day speech when he said that “dimagi Naxals” are a threat to Indian society and called for them to be “found and isolated”.
He also claimed that persons with Maoist ideology had for years “established themselves in the corridors of power and influenced policy making, including as advisers on government committees”.
On Sunday, Trinamool Congress leader Saket Gokhale accused Modi of instructing CRPF personnel to “eliminate” the Opposition by labelling them “dimagi Naxals”.
He added that this is why security personnel “used pellet guns on unarmed protesters in Delhi”.
During youth protests in July, several demonstrators were injured after security personnel used lathis, fired tear gas and pellet guns to disperse the crowd.
